Cardinal Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 "Donny" is a good night out, as most places can be (depending on what the individuals make of them themselves). Fair enough, Donny has its issues but then don't most places?!? Wakefield and Leeds are also definitely worth a visit and you can usually get a late train back - although not if you want to go clubbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinky Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I remember that documentary you mention. It put Doncaster on the map for all wrong reasons. The statistics released for 2002 of new HIV cases was 5. Of those 5, 4 had caught it from overseas. This documentary was so memorable mainly because of the scandal of the doorman - Robbo. He was portrayed in this as a stereotypical Doncaster man, sleeping around and spreading the disease. I personally knew him (not in THAT way thank god!) and he did sleep with a lot of people, some of my friends included. By the time he died of AIDS, I have no doubt that he had infected some people. However, this does not mean that Doncaster is rife with HIV and I'm sure that the latest statistics will support that too. The reason the statistics are so high for Doncaster is because the local health authority serves such a large area. The majority of people treated here are not from Doncaster, they are referred from surrounding areas. Going back to the point in question, Doncaster can be a fab night out. I know some Sheffield people that love it; they think it's so laid back compared to Sheffield. I think it's the reverse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilge Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 It depends what you want. Like Sheffield, Donny has some nice pubs and bars (though not many these days) and many rubbish ones full of idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulgarian Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Last time I went out in Donny all* the guys were 'roid monsters in skin-tight t-shirts and G-star jeans and all* the women looked like prostitutes wearing the bare minimum of clothing, it was bizzare, especially considering it was the middle of winter.

Gleadlessgrl Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 it was bizzare, especially considering it was the middle of winter. You've obviously never been to Middlesboro or Newcastle then? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Peaches* Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Doncaster is a pretty good night out, I have enjoyed it when I've been out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamond123 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 i have been twice and wouldnt go again. maybe i went to the wrong places but thought it was clicky people stared/made us feel uncomfortable in a lot of the bars and loads of the pubs were scruffy. then again suppose you can say all those things about sheffield if you go to certain places. leeds is really good for a night out, depending on what your into the corn exchange is good for an indie scene.
